Extreme Stress and Older Adults

The Aldwin and Gilmer (2013) text tells us that illness and aging make a person more vulnerable to physical stress, saying, “Whenever there is a massive population disruption, such as a famine or war-related refugee exodus, it is the very old and the infants who are most likely to die” (p. 233). For this discussion, respond to the following:

• What role does public health policy have in protecting older adults during extreme circumstances?
• What improvements are necessary and how could they be implemented?

As always, support your discussion with citations from the text and the articles you located.
